Maybe. Maybe not. It's not as though this Ljajic deal is what's set me off. It's the drip drip drip of our transfer dealings since the takeover.
I think it's very much possible that we had an agreement with Real to sell Ronaldo last summer and it was this assurance that funded our only major spending in the Glazer era. If that is what happened then SAF has been running the club on an absolute shoe-string and it would explain why we missed out on Benzema, signed Michael fecking Owen and bailed on this Ljajic deal.
I will change my mind completely if/when SAF gets his next transfer target -either in January or the summer - but I'm not very optimistic.
I'm actually quite pleased at the thought of giving our kids a chance over the next few years but it pains me to think this won't be by choice and that none of the money brought in by the sale of Ronaldo and the thousands of people who turn up at OT every week is going to be re-invested into the club we support. Right now, I'm having serious doubts.
